Adam Lamers

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brett Bassock slid out a raise to 156,000 from under the gun and Katherine Porrello announced all in for over 1,000,000 on his left. The action folded back to Bassock who flicked in his last 5,000 chip.

Katherine Porrello: A♥K♦

The flop came 4♠4♣4♦ and Bassock was still in the lead with his pair of sixes. The 7♥ on the turn and the 10♦ on the river changed nothing, giving Bassock a double up.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After Brett Bassock limped in from under the gun, Peter Mugar raised to 35,000 in middle position. Matthew Salsberg three-bet to 80,000 on his left and the action folded all the way back to Mugar. He four-bet shoved all in and Salsberg called off his stack of around 200,000.

Matthew Salsberg: A♦K♣ All in
Peter Mugar: Q♥Q♣

The flop came K♥Q♠7♦ to give Salsberg top pair but Mugar hit a set of queens. The 10♠ on the turn gave Salsberg some hope but it was the 10♦ on the river that improved Mugar to a full house.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Richard Green raised to 20,000 in middle position before Phillip Latimer three-bet to 55,000 in the cutoff. Aaron Overton then reraised to 160,000 in the small blind, leaving 11,000 behind, and Green folded. Latimer, though, moved all in and Overton used up a few time banks.

A tournament official then ruled that he was practically all in and couldn't use any more time tanks. Overton then stuck in the rest of his chips.

Aaron Overton: A♣K♥ All in
Phillip Latimer: 9♠9♦

The flop came 8♦6♠5♠, while the 7♠ turn improved Latimer to a straight and left Overton drawing dead. The river was the 6♥ and he was sent to the rail as the first elimination of the day.

"I'm blessed just to make it this far," Latimer said as he raked in the pot.

Thomas Boivin opened to 20,000 in the cutoff and Matthew Beinner three-bet to 85,000 in the small blind. Boivin called and they went heads-up to a flop of 10♠6♣3♥.

Beinner continued with a bet of 65,000 and Boivin called to see the 6♦ on the turn. Beinner checked this time and Boivin dropped in a bet of 110,000. Beinner called and the 3♣ landed on the river. Both players tapped the table and Beinner turned over A♦K♣ for just ace-high. Boivin showed his K♥10♥ for a flopped pair of tens which was enough to scoop the pot.
